Post COVID-19 shutdown meant a short wait in line while they checked people in and explained that all ordering is done in the app. But we could then choose our table and settle in to check the menu on the app. We both chose a glass of Pepperjack Shiraz and the 280g Black Angus Rump. Both steaks were perfectly cooked medium rare and the steak cut chips super crunchy. Update Aug 2020: We've now had 3 delicious steak dinners and have already booked in for next Tuesday (half price steak anyone?!)

However, upon wandering inside I discovered that they actually had a nice tap beer available. That, to be honest, was pretty cool. In fact, it made this place feel much better. Mind you, I do remember coming through here ages ago, so it certainly did seem to be one of those places that I enjoyed visiting again.

We were seated and had a look at the menu and were told that when we were ready we should order at the bar. So we headed to the bar to order our meals and grab a couple of drinks and when we got back to our table another couple had been seated there...not happy. We found another table and awaited our meals but the mix-up put a dampener on my mood. We ordered the Roast Duck and Eye Fillett to share. The roast duck was described as orange and madeira oven roast duck with braised cabbage and creamy potato. It was a very pretty dish but let down terribly by overcooked duck and an undercooked potato stack despite the menu promising creamy potato.. Very disappointing. The medium rare Eye Fillet with mushroom sauce was very well cooked and accompanied by a side of delicious chips. The salad a bit bland and boring but who orders a steak for the salad anyway...

I returned 9 years later to have lunch with my parents. Although I'm not a footy fan, I quite enjoyed myself. When you walk in, you can turn right into the pokies room and lose yourself in a wash of rainbow, neon machines begging to take your dollars, one by one. Beyond the pokies is the Halfway Cafe, where you'll find a fine pub lunch. My mother and I are suckers for buffet, so we went downstairs and got the smorgasboard ($20 each excluding drinks). The buffet stations are huge. It's the standard soup- salad- vegetables- carved meat- pasta options with some surprising added extras. The cheese kransky is delicious, the spring rolls are more-ish if nothing else, and the grilled octopus salad is succulent and juicy. There is also quite a large assortment of asian cuisine including honey king prawns and sweet and sour pork. The only inconvenience is having to go to the bar and pay for your drinks separately.You've got a wealth of tables to choose from- booths, or window seats, so you can watch the Broncos train while you dine. While you're there, go have a gander at all the old jerseys and trophies. My favourite area is the wall just outside of Alfie's Bar that has old photos of big beefy footballers who were snapped while getting tackled, and getting their junk yoinked up to their armpits. There's some corkers in there, let me tell you. Even if you're not into footy, Broncos Leagues Club isn't a bad place to have a beer or to have a sit down meal. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

It doesn't matter how much chrome and wood you use to try and renovate a pub, it'll still be a pub…read more The Newmarket Hotel would be better off embracing its existence as a typical, suburban Aussie pub instead of trying to be something it's not. It's okay for a pub to be a bit grimy and dingy, in fact, it only makes them seem more authentic. The renovations on the Newmarket Hotel are aiming for contemporary sophistication but the pokies, smell of stale beer, and TVs showing sports give it away. This puts the Newmarket Hotel in the position of no longer being a traditional pub, but not cutting it as anything else either. The food is still pub food, the drinks are still pub drinks, but the place has lost its gritty soul which is what attracts a lot of people to pubs in the first place. Sure, the space looks big, and spacious, and modern, but it feels to manufactured and sterile for a pub. If you're after a nice meal in a classy venue, despite its efforts the Newmarket Hotel won't fulfill your needs. And if you feel like a traditional night at the pub, the Newmarket Hotel can no longer provide that either. Some things are best kept as they were, and the Newmarket Hotel is one of them.

The Newmarket Hotel used to be scary, dingy, and full of old men and cigarette smoke. When I saw…read moreit had had a serious facelift I thought I should pop in and test it out. There is a LOT of space here now, with a new restaurant area out the back that has plenty of glass and an open kitchen. Serious money has been spent on this renovation and even though pokies are evident it feels like a comfortable place for a drink or a bite to eat. Lunch specials are a draw card, with most lunch items under $17, however dinner is a bit pricer with $30+ steaks and other mains averaging out at $25. My problem is that it's just not that good. The menu looks great, the pub looks great, but the food is a pretty serious let down. My husband couldn't get a medium rare steak after sending back the first blue one (second one was well done) and I had a duck salad that was pretty crap to be honest. The management needs to really look at their kitchen staff and consider investing a bit of money into getting and keeping good chefs, as a pub that can't cook a steak to order is not winning any favours. It's a real disconnect to visit an establishment that throws oodles of money at the renovation but skimps on the food. It's like opening a beautifully gift wrapped present only to find tea towels. Sure, they're serviceable, but who the hell wants to unwrap something exciting to get something mundane?

Great little local pub. Almost reminds me of Cheers.

I am not using my cell phone so I didn't call management but instead I e-mailed them and reported it. No one responded. Then another couple started fighting above our room at 9 am and I was fed up and sleep deprived so I walked to the office and told the receptionist about my complaint. 1st couple on the first floor at 4:30 am was kicked out, thank goodness. But this 2nd couple staying on the 2nd floor is still fighting. The man has been verbally abusing the woman and management hasn't done anything about it yet. This is just wrong. Also I had to ask the receptionist if we could stay until noon because we're still tired and did not sleep well here. It's unfortunate because I asked her yesterday when we checked in if it's a quiet area and obviously she couldn't have predicted this but she should've pointed out that the walls are thin!

Okay, it was pretty packed when I was here, but considering that there happened to be a State of Origin match on down the road, that isn't all that surprising.
